Chapter 47: The Teaser Trailer

The intimate, beast-like gesture pleased Fu Linzhou. He raised an eyebrow and gently stroked Gu Lingyi's nape. "To what extent do we need to hide?"

Gu Lingyi pondered for a moment, then repeated Tang Shu's exact words: "Just tidy up the entryway of the living room a bit, so it doesn't look like a man lives here."

As her crisp voice trailed off, the two exchanged a glance and tacitly surveyed their surroundings.

Snow-mountain white marble floor tiles extended from the Italian-style foyer into the living room, outlined by carved details, clean lines, and arched doorways.

Xiao Ting gave a meaningful look to the person beside him, and immediately two servants walked over to Bai Shanshan.

Zhang Yu looked around at his classmates and noticed that none of them showed any sign of tension. Apart from Chu Ge, whom he found somewhat difficult to read, there was only Qin Jue, who looked completely clueless and remained rooted to the spot.

Her heart felt agonizingly heavy, but Lu Xiao was still here. She forced herself to control her emotions, put the drawing back, walked up to Lu Xiao, and squeezed out a smile.

"I..." The proposal came so abruptly that Tang Yue temporarily did not know how to answer her.

This was merely a minuscule, insignificant blow dealt by the great dragon to cope with the West Wind travel party.

Mo Lan clearly forgot about the time dilation between the spatial realm and the outside world. Although she had no idea how much time had passed inside, outside only the time it took to brew a cup of tea had elapsed, while a certain Divine Lord had been left abandoned within the realm.

Looking grave, Hirakawa Yuji gave a violent start and instinctively glanced toward the woman beside him, Chishima Kimiko.

Chen Jin cast a disdainful glance at them. They were a pair of simple-minded and innocent master and disciple. Since he was unfamiliar with this world, it wouldn't hurt to follow them, though he certainly wouldn't take them as masters. Against their basic moves, he could easily crush them to death—why bother finding a master for himself?

Chen Jin did not forget to leave a barrier around Mo Lan, fearing that if his attention wavered for even a moment, she might be plotted against once more. He could no longer bear to watch her get hurt right under his eyes.

Behind the three brothers, their sprawling extended family of nearly thirty people either wept in low sobs or wore sorrowful expressions. Silently gazing at the tombstone alongside the three brothers, they seemed to be reliving a familiar scene.

Furthermore, Wu Sansi had no previous feud with Prince An Zhao Wudi. During the Prince's grand wedding, he had even sent Wu Chongxun personally to Yangzhou to offer congratulations and present a generous gift. With this goodwill between them, they could easily take the opportunity to have Wu Chongxun step forward and build a connection.

The promotional campaign for last week's "Music Billboard" annual awards ceremony had been less than satisfactory, which surely had some impact on Han Yuyun's state of mind.

Although one of them was a newly appointed prime minister and the other a freshly minted marquis, in front of Old Immortal Sun, they were absolute nobodies.

Dunzi grabbed Liu Jingshan and scrambled up to the treetops. Needless to say, Chu Ying followed right behind, as he valued his life dearly! He climbed the tree using both hands and feet, wishing he could grow wings and fly. Down below, the battle raged fiercely, yet Chu Xu and the others did not dare to kill the imperial guards, only forcing them back.

"Father!" Chu Xu was momentarily stunned. Chu Fengxing had already strode away in a hurry, seemingly carrying a hint of escapism. She had never seen her father look so unsettled, as if he deeply feared even the mention of the word "monster."

Moreover, surrounding the spring were seven glowing objects. They looked like ordinary stones, but to the touch, they possessed the texture of jade, and they were constantly absorbing and emitting spiritual energy.

"She was simply an peerless beauty. Her skin was as white as snow, smooth and delicate to the touch. Her eyes were large, and her lips were soft. One glance at her made a man want to make her entirely his own, melting one's very bones. To die beneath the peony flower, one would still be a romantic ghost!" Remembering this, Chu Ying still could not suppress the surging excitement in his heart.

He never expected that Lu Yan would suddenly turn on Steward Cheng. Since he and Steward Cheng were in the same boat, he was naturally implicated, and in the blink of an eye, he was ruthlessly cast into the cold palace by Lu Yan.

Chu Si swept her gaze over the scene. Young Master Hong's corpse lay crookedly on the ground, with a trembling physician standing nearby. It seemed that after Concubine Nie killed Young Master Hong outside, Chu Bingsong flew into a rage and killed Concubine Nie as well, then carried Young Master Hong inside and summoned a physician, only to find it was already too late.
